Loved the Iron until it brokeGreat iron in every way, until the plastic hinged cap that holds the water in the iron broke off. Now it is not useable for us. Of course this happened post the one-year warranty. I won't buy another one because of this. Otherwise, it was my dream iron.

Best Iron Purchase EverI had originally bought this iron because of the simple fact that it had a retractable cord. I wasn't expecting to pay more than $35.00 for an iron because they usually don't last for me. I was unaware of all the extra features that this model had until i took it home and put it to use. Now, I am ready to purchase a new one and I will definitely choose Panasonic. Excellent quality and you do get what you pay for!!!

1=1=0This model breaks down for two reasons: the electrical cord coating wears out quickly and the cord loses it internal electrical connection.

Will my steam/dry iron stick to fabric when spray starch is used while ironing?

No. The steam/dry iron will not stick to the fabric when ironing with starch.&#160; Selecting the correct temperature will prevent fabric from sticking to the iron.

What is the recommended voltage for this steam/dry iron?

The recommended voltage for this steam/dry iron is 120V.

The steam/dry iron is emitting a white powdery substance while ironing, especially when using the Jet of Steam function. How can I fix this issue?

The powder or particles are impurities and minerals found in water. These particles can be brushed off&#160; the clothing or fabric.

Sometimes my clothes become discolored or marked after they have been ironed. How can I fix this issue?

Set the temperature correctly according to the fabric being ironed. If there is cleaning residue on the fabric, the clothes may become brown after being ironed.

Is it necessary to use distilled water in my steam/dry iron?

Using regular water may cause build up of calcium or lime in the iron's steam vents. We suggest using distilled water to prevent this build up from occurring.

I can no longer power on this steam/dry iron. How can I fix this issue?

Check to make sure that the power cord is securely inserted into the wall outlet. If it is connected properly, try another power outlet.

How can I use the spray function on this steam/dry iron?

The spray feature is useful mainly when trying to remove stubborn wrinkles and where extra dampening is needed. This function may be used for steam or dry ironing. To use the spray function simply press the "Spray Mist" button whenever spray is desired. If spray does not come out immediately, keep pressing until it comes. To get a finer spray, press the button vigorously and to get a more powerful spray, press the button more slowly.

Does this steam/dry iron have a retractable power cord?

Yes. The power cord is retractable.

Can I use this steam/dry iron to vertically steam my garment?

Yes. Hang the garment on a clothes hanger to get the best results when vertically steaming. Curtains and drapes may also be steamed once they are hung. Hold the iron close to the fabric then hold the fabric tightly with your free hand and pump the Vertical Steam button (Jet of Steam button) at 5 second intervals as you pass the iron over the wrinkled fabric.
